Anambra 2025: Ikemba Front members who endorse Chukwuma, APC aspirant are imposters -Awogu

By Alphonsus Nweze, Onitsha

The National Coordinator of Ikemba Front and former Local Government Area Chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, Sir Arinzechukwu Awogu, has distanced himself from those who endorsed the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Anambra State later this year, Mr Paul Chukwuma, describing them as “impostors”.
Awogu spoke in Ihembosi, Ihiala Local Government Area during the outing service of late Benneth Nkemefuna Nkememena , the father of Senior Special Assistant to late Senator Ifeanyi Uba on Strategic Communications, Hon. Kamen Chuks, at St. Anthony Catholic Church Ihembosi when he fielded questions from newsmen.
Awogu who also endorsed the current zoning arrangement in the State said there is compelling reason for APC to settle for a candidate from Anambra South Senatorial candidate for the November 8, 2025 governorship election.
He said zoning the arrangement has worked in Anambra State for the past 13 years, helped reduce unnecessary rancour and excessive hitting up of the polity.
Responding to the purported endorsement of Paul Chukwuma one of the aspirant from Anambra North Senatorial zone by some people who claimed to be members of Ikemba Front, Sir Awogu said : “those were imposters. “When you see a bunch of imposters displaying their talent, you can only but laugh them off. Ikemba Front is a disciplined political support structure under the All Progressives Congress and we can’t be ahead of the party”.
He continued: “the party will give us direction through the conduct of primaries. How reasonable is it to endorse an aspirant when you have not seen the guidelines for the primaries, the aspirant has not picked expression of interest form and nomination form. He has not gone through party screening. It is laughable to say the least. It is the state chairman of the party that has the sole right to hand over the party’s flag to the eventual candidate. So when you see busybodies who are pecuniarily driven acting funny, it does not enjoy any legitimacy and that is not from Ikemba Front. Ikemba will make statement in due time. But note, we did not endorse any of the aspirants”.
Sir Awogu was accompanied by National Woman Leader; Lady Mary Onuorah; Organizing Secretary, Barr. Livy Ugwunnaya; Director Contact and Mobilization, Hon. Obidi Nwabueze (JP); National Assistant Legal Adviser, Barr. Obiajulu Awogu; Ekwusigo LGA Coordinator, Hon. Gerald Emenike; Nnewi North LGA Coordinator, Hon.
